There’s perhaps no more primal variety of feud in the world than the sibling rivalry, and it can get exponentially worse if those siblings happen to work in the same industry and compete for similar jobs. Fortunately, Dakota and Elle Fanning now have nothing but love and respect for one another, but there’s one long-ago project of Dakota’s that Elle just couldn’t get behind, thanks to a healthy dose of jealousy.

In a new cover interview with Net-a-Porter’s Porter magazine, Elle was discussing how she handles rejection when she recalled one of the first times she was turned down by a casting director. “I had an [audition] to be on Friends once. I might be remembering this wrong but I think I was gonna be one of Phoebe’s triplets,” she said. “I auditioned for it but I didn’t get it and I was like, ‘I’m boycotting the show, I’m never watching this again.’ Then my sister was on it and I refused to watch the episode,” she continued. “I was like, ‘I am not watching this!'”

Phoebe’s triplets appeared in episodes from 1998 to 2003, meaning the now-20-year-old Elle was auditioning for the role sometime between the ages of a few months old to five years old (Dakota was 10 when she appeared in an episode of the show’s final season), long enough ago that her childhood grudge has since worn off. In fact, Elle shared in the interview that she and Dakota are currently on the lookout for a project in which they can act side-by-side, and have a dream of starting a production company together, named after their grandmother: “We call her Gaba, so it could be Gaba Productions,” she said.

Plus, not only does Elle now fully support all of her sister’s onscreen projects, but she also even regularly revisits ones from around the dark days of her Friends boycott. “Dakota doesn’t know this, but I, like, will sometimes watch old videos of Dakota on talk shows when she was like, yeah, like six,” Elle told W in 2016. “She was so cute and I’ll just, like, watch them over and over again and they make me cry for some reason, but I’m very nostalgic.” No word, however, on whether she’s ever gone back and watched that fateful Friends episode.

Elle Fanning’s role as a Miu Miu muse has been well documented. The 20-year-old first appeared in the brand’s Spring 2014 campaign and recently made her catwalk debut, opening and closing the Fall 2018 show. Now, Fanning and Miu Miu have reached another milestone: The actress is also the face of the brand’s new fragrance.

I meet Fanning at the penthouse of the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. Considering that our meeting has come at the end of a very long press day, she is impressively vibrant and greets me with a hug. “Hi! Welcome!” she says. “I’m Elle.”

She is dressed in a coral Miu Miu shift dress, her willowy 5-foot-9 frame tottering above silver glitter platform sandals that she’s paired (rather ingeniously) with mustard-striped ankle socks. Fanning resembles a very tall fairy; it’s not just her wide eyes, pert nose, and charmingly mischievous grin. It’s her mien—a girlish exuberance (her phone case is emboldened with the word “Rah!” in pink cursive) married with the assuredness of an old soul (she uses anachronistic terms like “cheeky”). To meet Fanning, who followed sister Dakota into acting at the tender age of 2, is to understand how she won the role of a Disney princess (Maleficent) and why designer Miuccia Prada keeps tapping her for projects on behalf of Miu Miu, the quirky-cool little sister of Prada. “It really speaks to my personality—cute and imaginative but still sophisticated,” she says.

This latest campaign sees Fanning as the face of the label’s new perfume, Twist—a sweet, crisp scent with notes of apple blossom and bergamot—which launches January 15 exclusively at Sephora. Fashion photographer team Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott shot the still images while artist collective Canada created the short film. “It takes you backstage of a commercial but in a whole other universe,” Fanning says of the ad-within-an-ad premise, which blends swinging ’60s song-and-dance numbers with a retro space-age aesthetic. “We are on the moon, there are mutants walking around . . . it’s very cheeky.” Looking like a wholesome Barbarella, Fanning meanders through various over-the-top production sets, amusing herself with Miu Miu–centric wordplay—miusic, miustache, miutant. “They know me so well that in writing this, they kept in mind my sense of humor.”

“I think of her as a mythical creature. She just moves in such a graceful way and there’s really — all due respect to everyone out there — there’s just no one like her,” McMillen told THR.

For actress Elle Fanning, fashion is much more than wearing designer gowns to red carpets around the world — it’s a way for her to express who she really is.

“Fashion is such a creative outlet for me, it always has been,” she told The Hollywood Reporter for its 2018 Power Stylist issue. “I definitely was one of those kids at school that kind of put on some crazy outfits. I was made fun [of] for it, but it made me feel empowered.”

Fanning’s stylist Samantha McMillen tells THR that working with the actress is a magical experience, calling her a “unicorn” when it comes to fashion.

“I think of her as a mythical creature. She just moves in such a graceful way and there’s really — all due respect to everyone out there — there’s just no one like her,” she told THR. “She’s a unicorn. She doesn’t want to be like anyone else and I just try to offer those options that I feel like are her, knowing her so well.”

What makes the fashion choices that Fanning wears so special is the energy she brings to the look. Talking about their all-time favorite looks she’s worn, McMillen said, “They come alive when she is on the red carpet and she makes it even more than it was originally.” [Source]

Millie Bobby Brown and Elle Fanning have been declared two of the most influential teenagers in the world by Time magazine.

The 13-year-old Brit, who achieved worldwide fame in 2016 with her portrayal of Eleven in Netflix series Stranger Things, and The Beguiled actress Elle, the younger sister of Dakota, have made their debuts on the magazine’s annual 30 Most Influential Teens list.

Victoria and David Beckham’s eldest son Brooklyn was also placed on the unranked list, and told the publication he was excited to be studying photography at Parsons School of Design in New York.

“I’m just so lucky to have been given the opportunities that I have,” the 18 year old said. “I’m looking forward to the next few years and learning as much as I can and experiencing life as a student.”

Miley Cyrus’ sister Noah also received the honour for the first time, thanks to the launch of her music career in late 2016.

“I feel like I communicate so much better through a song than I do through talking,” she said, explaining why she’s pursuing music. “I’m there with you if you’re going through heartbreak, because I’ve definitely had my share of heartbreak. People don’t think we (celebrities) have normal people problems, but we do. We go through it just like you.”

Canadian singer Shawn Mendes, actor/singer Jaden Smith, actress Yara Shahidi and dancer Maddie Ziegler have maintained their place on the list for a consecutive year.

Jaden’s sister Willow, 17, has also made the cut, as well as Moana star Auli’i Cravalho, 16-year-old model Kaia Gerber, the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber.

Other celebrities on the list, which also includes activists and entrepreneurs, include singer Khalid and British actor Isaac Hempstead Wright, who plays Bran Stark in Game of Thrones. [Source]

Timothée Chalamet, Elle Fanning, and Selena Gomez will bring a youthful glimmer to Woody Allen’s next feature film. The still untitled project will be the third film that Allen, our preeminent chronicler of on-screen neurosis, directs for Amazon Studios. The company previously worked with Allen on “Cafe Society” and the upcoming “Wonder Wheel.” It also distributed the filmmaker’s first foray into television, “Crisis in Six Scenes,” a diversion into the small screen world that was not well received by critics.

Chalamet is earning raves and Oscar buzz for his star turn in “Call My By Your Name,” which hits theaters next fall. Fanning recently had a key supporting role in “The Beguiled” and starred in Nicolas Wind Refn’s horror film “The Neon Demon.” Gomez is a former Disney Channel star who also appeared in “Spring Breakers” — a film that nuked her squeaky clean image.

Allen’s films are notoriously secretive affairs. True to form this project isn’t even being announced with a logline, so it’s unclear who these three twenty-something stars will play.

“Wonder Wheel” will have its world premiere as the closing night film of the New York Film Festival in October. Kate Winslet, Justin Timberlake, and James Belushi head the cast of the film, which takes place in Coney Island. It opens in theaters on Dec. 1.

Allen has won four Oscars in his decades-long career. He is responsible for the likes of “Annie Hall,” “Blue Jasmine,” “Manhattan,” and “Midnight in Paris.” [Source]

Elle Fanning, who just arrived in Cannes for the debut of her latest film, Sofia Coppola’s The Beguiled, has described herself as “a unicorn flower child at heart, mixed with a schoolboy and the occasional Cali surfer dude.” That has translated to some whimsical, fashion-forward red carpet looks, including the Vivienne Westwood gown she wore for tonight’s opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival. It’s the first look that actually features Fanning’s favorite mystical creature: If you look closely, you’ll see a unicorn hand-painted on the train in candy pink. In fact, the unicorn was Fanning’s idea—she worked with Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler on the custom gown, which is a modern reinterpretation of Westwood’s iconic Bird of Paradise dresses from Spring ’05. Here, she gave Vogue an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of the gown and the story behind it.

In The Beguiled, Fanning’s wardrobe consists of 19th-century American staples like Victorian lace dresses and ruffled blouses. But Westwood’s gown takes her a little further back in fashion history: It was originally inspired by 17th- and 18th-century salon culture, particularly the corsets, bustles, and exaggerated silhouettes women favored at that time. Fanning’s strapless, corseted gown comes in “snowdrop white” draped and bustled duchesse satin with a hand-painted design that was loosely inspired by Frans Hals’s 1624 painting The Laughing Cavalier. The artwork depicts a young man in an extravagant silk costume embroidered with bees, arrows, lover’s knots, and tongues of fire, which were meant to symbolize “the pleasures and pains of love.” Westwood’s symbols celebrate femininity and Fanning’s personality: There’s a shooting star named Elle; the planet Gaia, Westwood’s signature orb; and, of course, the requested unicorn, all in pretty shades of pink.

Galveston follows two hard-luck outsiders on the run. Barely surviving an assassination attempt from his loan-sharking boss, debt-collector Roy “Big Country” Cady (Foster) flees to the Texas town to lie low, but in rescuing Raquel “Rocky” Arceneaux (Fanning), a vulnerable young prostitute, from the shoot-out, any hope of a safe haven vanishes. Rocky is a girl with secrets to hide, including one that will forever haunt Roy in a powerful story of sacrifice and redemption.

Fanning, seen next in Mike Mills’ 20th Century Women, adds the project to a packed slate of upcoming films: Ben Affleck’s crime drama Live by Night, Shawn Christensen’s drama Sidney Hall, John Cameron Mitchell’s musical How to Talk to Girls at Parties, Haifaa Al-Mansour’s Mary Shelley biopic A Storm in the Stars, Sofia Coppola’s Western The Beguiled, Miguel Arteta’s romantic drama All the Bright Places, and Reed Morano’s drama I Think We’re Alone Now. She is repped by WME and Echo Lake Entertainment.

Foster, recently featured in Hell or High Water and Inferno, will be seen next in Scott Cooper’s drama Hostiles. He is repped by UTA.

Reed Morano is helming the postapocalyptic movie, which IM Global will introduce to buyers at AFM.

Peter Dinklage and Elle Fanning have signed on to star in postapocalyptic film I Think We’re Alone Now.

Reed Morano (Meadowland) is directing the Automatik Entertainment project from a script by Mike Makowsky.

Dinklage will play Del, who finds his innermost fantasies of seclusion realized when the rest of humanity is wiped out in a mysterious incident. But then a second survivor (Fanning) arrives and threatens to disrupt his newfound sense of order.

Fred Berger (La La Land, The Autopsy of Jane Doe) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Midnight Special, Loving) will produce for Automatik while Makowsky will also produce along with Dinklage and David Ginsberg via their new Estuary banner. Fernando Loureiro and Roberto Vasconcellos will produce and finance through their company Exhibit.

IM Global will handle foreign sales and introduce the film to buyers at AFM in November. CAA and WME Global co-represent the domestic rights, as well as packaged and arranged the film’s financing. Kavanaugh-Jones, Fred Berger and Jonathan Gardner negotiated the deal for Automatik, with IM Global’s senior vp acquisitions John Zois negotiating on behalf of IM Global.

Morano directed Meadowland starring Olivia Wilde, Luke Wilson and Giovanni Ribisi which premiered in competition at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival. She is also a director/EP for the pilot along with the second and third episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale starring Elisabeth Moss and Joseph Fiennes for Hulu and MGM based on the iconic Margaret Atwood novel. She is repped by WME.

20th Century Women, the new film from Beginners writer/director Mike Mills, will have its world premiere as the centerpiece screening of the 54th New York film festival, it was announced Tuesday. The is the second addition to the event’s lineup, following the reveal of the opening night selection, The 13th, Ava DuVernay’s documentary on race and prison.

Annette Bening heads the 1970s-set film as a single mother raising her teenage son (newcomer Lucas Jade Zumann) in a sprawling bohemian house in Santa Barbara, shared by a carpenter (Billy Crudup) and a punk artist (Greta Gerwig). Elle Fanning rounds out the cast as her son’s rebellious friend. The festival pegs 20th Century Women as a “texturally and behaviorally rich new comedy”.

The festival’s director, Kent Jones, said he was “taken aback by 20th Century Women”, in a statement. “It’s made with an extraordinarily unusual level of craft and attention to detail, human and visual, which is now all but extinct,” he said.

When Elle Fanning appeared on the 2016 Met Gala red carpet with a sleek power ponytail and shimmering décolleté, her simple yet modern look struck us as one of the most charming takes on the night’s futuristic theme. “It’s young; we kind of scraped it back,” Fanning said, of the sky-high hairstyle that flattered her Thakoon gown. “The makeup is a bit more futuristic,” Thakoon Panichgul added, pointing to the silver shadow at the inner corners. “She’s got a sci-fi movie coming out.”

Looking at the diamanté Judith Leiber Couture clutch in Fanning’s hand, we wondered whether the makeup essentials packed within were equally sci-fi. Unclasping the hinge, the 18-year-old revealed a surprisingly pared-back kit: Two pieces of Orbitz gum, a $50 bill, an Amazing Cosmetics Amazing Concealer from Sephora—”It’s super-fair because I’m so white”—a basic black eyeliner, and her iPhone. “And that’s it! That’s all I can fit,” she said, laughing. What more do you need? [Source]

Christensen is on board to direct from a script he co-wrote with Jason Dolan. “Like Crazy” producer Jonathan Schwartz is on board to produce through his Super Crispy Entertainment banner with Christensen and Lerman exec producing.

Story follows three stages in the life of the title character, who writes the book of his generation before disappearing without a trace. The film begins production next week in New York City.

Sources say almost every young actor met with Christensen and Schwartz for the part after the script hit the market, but Lerman was particularly believable at playing all three stages of Hall’s life — he plays a 18, 24 and 30 year old in various parts of the film.

Companies including Fox Searchlight and Amazon were aggressive in pursuing the script, but the filmmakers decided to first shoot the film and then take it on the festival circuit. The privately-financed project will be sold by Verve Ventures, a division of Verve Talent and Literary Agency.

Christensen is best known for his Oscar-winning short “Curfew.” In addition, he wrote and directed the feature “Before I Disappear,” based on the short. It won the Audience Award at its SXSW premiere and was then sold to IFC. He is repped by Verve and TCA Jed Root.

Did you know Elle Fanning has an Instagram account? We bet you did not because the Maleficent star keeps it private, and only allows her close friends and family to follow her!

But, but… why?

During an interview with i-D, the 17-year old starlet revealed she does not think her account is cool enough to share. Elle stated,

“Will a piece of me go away if I touch that button that makes it public? Who knows? But it just seems like such a hard job. People always have witty captions and great photos and mine does not look like that, at all. Oh, the pressure of being cool…”​

Oh Elle, please just hit the public button so we can follow you already! We bet you have some pretty amazing post to share, and we would love to hit “Like” right now. [Source]
